My father thinks gambling is stupid... yet he invests in the stock market

I got into the races when I was looking for something to do one weekend and saw that Bay Meadows was open... asked a friend to go and I've been addicted ever since. I never would have imagined when I started that I'd understand what all the small numbers and letters in the Form mean, or that I'd have several on-line accounts and watch TVG religiously... I never knew it could be this good!

that's funny MY father thinks horses are stupid...he grew up on a cattle ranch and the first thing he did when he turned 18 was enlist in the army to get away from the farm....he's probably not entirely pleased that his daughter went back.
